YUI to resume her musical activities as a part of band “FLOWER FLOWER”by Shiso on April 3, 2013 at 9:21 pm

It was revealed that singer-songwriter YUI, who halted her musical activities at the end of last year, will resume her activities as part of rock band “FLOWER FLOWER.”

The band will perform at live event “JAPAN JAM 2013” which will be held at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST on May 4th.

FLOWER FLOWER is the band formed by YUI herself after she called to her the musicians she respected, and she serves as the vocalist and guitarist of the band with the name of “yui” with her completely new look of short blond hair. Apparently, the band started a studio session at the beginning of this year, and also held secret live performances at several locations across Japan since last month.

yui said, “I thought that I would be able to purely enjoy music by creating sound with these members. New flashes and the possibility in music are naturally expanding from each member’s idea and performance.” She also explained regarding the name of the band, “I wanted to give it an unaffected and natural name. There may be so many cool names, but I dared to make it a name that sounds relaxing, and can stay in your head. I hope we can express our powerful and interesting ideas freely.”

After their first appearance at “JAPAN JAM 2013″, FLOWER FLOWER will also perform at “TOKYO METROPOLITAN ROCK FESTIVAL 2013” which will be held at Wakasu Park in Shinkiba, Tokyo on May 26th.

Additionally, they also launched their official site on April 3rd, but it’s currently undecided if the band will release any work at this moment.

FLOWER FLOWER's live appearance canceled with yui's diagnosis with panic disorderMarch 6, 2014 @ 2:11 amIt's been announced that FLOWER FLOWER will be canceling their appearance in the 'VIVA LA ROCK' festival which will be held on May 4th at Saitama Super Arena.

This is due to as yui's (Vo, G) recent diagnosis with panic disorder. After a conference with the members and staff, their appearance in 'VIVA LA ROCK' was canceled.

Singer-songwriter yui recently canceled her band FLOWER FLOWER's live appearance in the 'VIVA LA ROCK' festival due to her panic disorder. On March 27th, she updated the band's blog and talked about her situation.

yui, who just turned 27-years-old on the 26th, reported, "How is everyone doing? Thanks to everyone, I am able to take it easy. It's a sickness that gets better little by little, so I want to take my time to face it." As her goal, she revealed, "I want to cure the sickness while I'm 27, and have fun doing all kinds of things, like going on tours."

She concluded, "I will let you know if something happens, so please continue to support me!"

Being a performer, this is really an unfortunate thing for her to have to go through. Fortunately though, there have been similar cases in the past of other singers/performers who have had to go through it, and more importantly, who were able to recover from it. With time and luck, yui will also be one of them.

Dang, pretty much a year (literally) since the last post here. At least it's good news that bumps it up.
